Ärzte im Dritten Reich

Description:

**The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide** was written by Robert Jay Lifton and published in 1986, analyzing the role of German doctors in carrying out a genocide. In the work Lifton details the medical procedures occurring before and during the Holocaust and explores the paradoxical theme of healing killing in which one race was healed by eliminating another; a concept that many used to morally justify their actions. Throughout the book, Lifton provides quotes from interviews he conducted with SS doctors and with victims. The book was awarded the 1987 Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the 1987 National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category. (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nazi_Doctors))
